How people can be so blind as to not see that is beyond me. If the GOP (and establishment types like Rove) had gotten behind her with the same fervor that they attacked her, she would have had a real chance of beating Coons.

How can people be so blind as to believe that Karl Rove has such a sway over the electorate he can sway 16% of the vote?

Nobody who loses by 16% when there's a massive wave in the other direction all around the country, massive contempt for the party of the ruling President, etc. "Had a chance."

16% of Republicans voted for Coons, that's how.
